Summary

Congress allows money to be spent to carry out this part of the law. It provides $34,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2021 through 2025, except for work covered by sections 2991b(e), 2991b–1, 2991b–3, subsection (d) of this section, and any part that already has its own stated funding. At least 90% of the money made available for these parts (excluding 2991b(e), 2991b–1, 2991b–3, 2991c, subsection (d), and any part with its own funding) must be spent each year on section 2991b(a). Separate amounts are also set. Congress provided $8,000,000 for each of fiscal years 1999–2002 for section 2991b(e). For fiscal year 1994, it allowed whatever money was needed to start research demonstration projects on Native American studies and to keep making a plan for a National Center; that plan had to be sent to Congress no later than 30 days after September 30, 1992. It also authorized $13,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2020–2024 for section 2991b–3. Finally, $20,000,000 was appropriated from the Treasury for fiscal year 2021, to remain available until spent, to carry out section 2291b–3(g).
